Maybe this driver is too old. Try that one from my link.

Nope nothing.. (

I even tried sudo modprobe rt2870sta

[praseodym]

Are the needed tools for compiling installed?

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-headers-generic-pae build-essential dkms

[Burky]

I installed that packages, and tried recompiling.. same problem

thanks, though

Any other ideas?

[praseodym]

Can you show the outputs of "make"?

It's been a year since this thread went dead. Yet there was no solution on how to make this best selling (therefore used a lot) WiFi dongle...

Please, Please Ubuntu people, can we get some working drivers for the system?

The thread went dead because the OP stopped posting. I'm pretty confident I can get it going if you'd like to try. Please post:

lsusb

I dont know if i should post this here but i am having the same problem trying to install the drivers for D-link Dwa-140

Working on Ubuntu 10.04.4 (prerequisite for my university homework, not my choice)

and the lsusb command gives me
